I didn't need drugs or alcohol to do stunts because I am just a sober attention whore

I just learned that you take away the drugs and the alcohol from the waste an attention whore and then you get a sober attention whore and that's like really that's all there is to it. I never took painkillers for pain and I never did stunts because I was loaded. I just am an attention whore.

My rule was always like no matter what you do, it's cooler if you're on fire. I was always on fire so that sold out a ton of footage.

Jackass 4 will be a hit because the first week of production was explosive
